The Dupline® 3 Parking Guidance System is inherently robust, and it is a stand-alone system. This system requires no PC to run, it only needs a PC for system configuration. In addition, Carlo Gavazzi supplies carpark software, which enables monitoring of the real-time situation of each parking space or level in a facility.
CP3 version 3003 Phase 2: Display Placement, Lane Definition, Sensor Mounting Define the number of displays based on the natural flow of cars in the parking facility, in cooperation with the customer. The best way to do this is by making a joint walk-through and drive-through. Confirm any architectural considerations with the customer regarding signals, finding one's way and any other equipment to be installed in the parking facility.
CP3 version 3003 Decide which spaces should be used as disabled parking spaces. Normally, disabled parking spaces are placed close to escalators and elevators, and their numbers are determined in accordance with regulatory laws. Determine the number and placement of the cabinets. Ideally, they should be placed so that the sensor loads are equal in all directions.
CP3 version 3003 The sensor/base must be mounted either on the ceiling or a rail. Daisy-chain all the sensor bases and display interface modules in the lane with the Dupline® 3-wire bus. Power the system and program the sensors and displays by means of the SBP2WEB24 programming tool. Design of the placement of sensors, indicators, cable trays and cabinets.
We recommend the use of inexpensive standard 3-wire, unshielded 1.5 mm (14- 16AWG) cables for the Carlo Gavazzi Dupline® Parking Guidance System. In order to reduce man-hours for the installation, we have designed the sensor in such a way that it can be wired easily and quickly without the use of screwdrivers.
CP3 version 3003 One-Floor System Example The diagram below is a theoretical example of how to implement 477 sensors on a single floor. Additional floors would be configured, installed and brought online exactly the same way. Refer to section ‘Example of a PGS for Multiple Floors’.
CP3 version 3003 Cabinets The three cabinets C1, C2 and C3 should be mounted as shown in the scheme. If this is not possible, an alternative placement should be found. It is important that the distance between the cabinet and the last sensor on a line does not exceed a voltage drop of 3.5 V.

CP3 version 3003 the installation before the entire installation is finished. When bases, sensors and CMCGs are connected and powered, they can be tested and programmed before the rest of the system is completed. Example: Ground level: 4 normal lanes (lanes) with 76 spaces each and including 4 spaces for disabled people on each of the 4 lanes.
CP3 version 3003 Installation of the PGS Short Installation In this section, the installer is given a tool to answer most questions that arise during the installation of cables. Now the planning has ended, and we move forward towards the installation process starting with: SBPSUSL45 Carpark Lane Sensor (Used in Most Installations) Sensors must be installed at a distance of minimum 2.0 m (6.56 feet) and maximum 2.5 m (8.2 feet) from the floor.
CP3 version 3003 Mount the sensors directed at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground with a deviation of maximum +/-5 degree vertically and maximum +/- 2 degree horizontally. When mounting the wires into the push wire connectors on the sensors, cut the insulation carefully to avoid damage to the conductor.
(14-16AWG) stranded wire with ferrules for internal wiring. Programming Carpark 3 must be programmed by the SBP2WEB24 configuration tool. This tool is used to locate the Carpark modules and to connect them to the correct Lane, Line and Position. The configuration software is a part of the SBP2WEB24.
CP3 version 3003 - Decentralised modules: all the modules such as light switches, PIR sensors, lux sensors, decentralised I/O modules that are mounted in the wall boxes or on the wall. - Centralised cabinet modules: the modules that are mounted in 1-DIN or 2-DIN housings for Din rail mounting.
CP3 version 3003 ® ® Dupline Bus and Smart Dupline The smart-building system is based on a new protocol of the Dupline® bus. The protocol is called Smart Dupline®. Smart Dupline® implements a master-slave protocol running on standard Dupline® networks. The concept of Smart Dupline®...
CP3 version 3003 a central place by means of energy meters directly connected to the bus. These are just a few examples among lots of combinations to accomplish the required solution. System Description In this chapter you will get an overview of the entire structure of the parking guidance system. There is a short description of the basic elements of the system, followed by a description of the structure of a system lane.
3-wire cables. Both base types can be used together with all Carpark 3 sensors or LED indicators. The base has a 2*3-wire connection for d+, d- and POW. The base also has a female RJ12 connector, which must be connected to the sensor or LED indicator.
CP3 version 3003 The base is not delivered with the carpark sensor or LED indicator, but must be ordered separately. Base A Base B Carpark Master Generator (CMCG) The purpose of the CMCG is to generate the 1-kHz Dupline® carrier signal that enables all the devices on the bus to communicate with each other.
10 SBP2WEB24. That is 6300 carpark sensors in total. This number can be even bigger using a different type of carpark server. If this is the question, please contact your nearest Carlo Gavazzi sales office for further information.
CP3 version 3003 The displays are connected to the Dupline® bus via the display interface module SBP2DI48524. The displays operate with RS485 Modbus RTU protocol and shows available spaces using bright green arrows or/and bright white digits. The displays are programmable from the SBP2WEB24 configuration tool and can be programmed to show ‘running or steady arrows’...
CP3 version 3003 Determination of Lane, Line and Position We use the terms Lane, Line, Position to determine the logistics of the carpark sensors in a carpark installation. The word lane in our description refers to the physical lane in a real carpark. It can be a long lane or a short lane and can consist of few or many sensors The word line is a technical term for a string we use together with the lane.
CP3 version 3003 In the drawing below, a single carpark lane is shown. A lane refers to the physical lane in the carpark building. The lane can be long or short with few or many cars. That depends completely on the structure in the building.
Each SBP2WEB24 can operate with maximum seven SBP2MCG324s. That is 7*90=630 spaces in total. By using the Carpark server SBP2CPY24, we can operate with ten SBP2WEB24s, so we have 10*630 sensors which means 6300 spaces in total. If additional spaces are needed, please contact Carlo Gavazzi for further information.
CP3 version 3003 Software and Web server The last part is to program the system by using the SBP2WEB24 configuration tool. In systems with more than one SBP2WEB24, the installer must program each SBP2WEB24 independently. In smaller systems (below 630) the web server in the SBP2WEB24 can monitor and control all the sensors and other Dupline® products.

CP3 version 3003 degrees). This is to avoid calibration errors. If the LED in the sensor returns with green steady signal (no cars in the parking space), the sensor is ok. If the sensor is red or blinking red, check the distance once more or replace the sensor.
CP3 version 3003 Placing the Sensor When installing sensors, it is important to investigate what kind of technique is the best in the specific installation. In most installations, the lane-mounted sensor will be preferred because of the reduced cost of labour and material used.
Page 35
CP3 version 3003 Make sure that the base is mounted so that the connectors in the base are pointing towards the carpark space. See the pictures below. See also under section ‘Position of sensors’. Place lane-mounted sensor correct outside the carpark Place the base connectors so they are space in an atheistic manner.
CP3 version 3003 Sensors mounted on the ceiling Lowered sensor installation Positioning the Sensor The lane mounted sensor must be installed pointing at a 45-degree angle towards a hard and straight surface. Rubble, sand and grass cannot be used as surface. If water and snow are covering the surface, the sensor cannot detect if a car is present or not.
Page 37
CP3 version 3003 The vertical sensor must be installed pointing straight down to a hard and straight surface. The angle of the sensor must have maximum +/-5-degree vertical deviation. Both type of sensors, sends out a 40 kHz ultrasonic signal, and it is important that the receiver inside the sensor is able to detect the returning signal without problems.
CP3 version 3003 The vertical sensor must be mounted correctly in the middle of the parking space to ensure a perfect and reliable signal. Wiring the Base The wires can be connected to the base connectors without the use of tools because the ‘push connector technique’...
CP3 version 3003 To release the wire from the push connector, press and then pull the wire. Leave 20 cm or 8 inches of extra wire for making the connections to the base. This extra wire not only makes it easier to connect the sensors, but it also prevents stress to the connections due to extreme radii.

CP3 version 3003 Mounting the Display and Display Interface Module Display Interface Module The display interface SBP2DI48524 is a 2-din rail ‘black box’ that converts Dupline® to Modbus. It can be installed near the display or in the cabinet (maximum 300 m from display) with the other cabinet modules. The interface module is 24 VDC supplied by an external supply.
CP3 version 3003 If the display is mounted in environments with temperatures lower than -20 C degrees, we recommend using the display variant SBPDISxxxT. The ‘T’ indicates a built-in heating element that ensures an operational temperature if the temperature drops below -20°C. Cabinet Installation The cabinet(s) for all the DIN rail-mounted Parking Guidance System modules is (are) suggested to be placed in the middle of the system in order to have a uniform load.

CP3 version 3003 Interconnections of Cabinets The CMCG modules in the cabinets are connected to lanes containing sensors and displays. But to make the system complete, we must interconnect the cabinets with each other. The interconnection is done by making a connection using the RS485 on the CMCG from cabinet to cabinet. The RS485 connection between the SBP2MCG324 can achieve a length of maximum 600 m.
Page 47
CP3 version 3003 Each of the SBP2WEB24 controllers has an Ethernet connection for the network. Keep in mind that the Ethernet cable must not exceed 100 m without the use of repeaters, so if distances are long, use an Ethernet switch to meet this requirement..
CP3 version 3003 Software This section will briefly discuss the configuration software and the carpark software. A more detailed information and guide can be found in the software installation manual. Both manuals are available on: http://www.productselection.net/MANUALS/UK/cp3_manual.pdf http://www.productselection.net/MANUALS/UK/sx_tool_manual.pdf In the following, we will discuss the configuration of the carpark modules including assigning the sensors, LED indicators and display interfaces to the proper lanes and lines.
CP3 version 3003 Step 2: When the controller is connected, select ‘Modules’ and ‘Scan networks’. Scanning the networks can take minutes depending on the number of modules and CMCGs connected to the SBP2WEB24. (Maximum 630 carpark sensors) Step 3: Define the lanes by pressing “Add Location Lane” on the toolbar to the right...
Page 50
CP3 version 3003 Step 4: Define the Lanes and Lines according to the physical layout by pressing “Add Location Line” on the toolbar to the right. When the lanes and lines have been defined, the next step is to assign the carpark sensors to the correct locations in the lanes and lines respectively.
Page 51
CP3 version 3003 When the sensors have been dragged from the list on the left side to the specific line on the right side (see picture above), the installer must manually place the sensors in consecutive order by positioning them internally relative to one another.
CP3 version 3003 Select the number of sensors which must be assigned for the lines and also select a time delay. Default is 10 sec. Press ‘Confirm’ to accept and to start the assign sequence.

CP3 version 3003 Calibration When the sensors, LED indicators and display interfaces have been assigned, the next step is to calibrate all the sensors. Please keep in mind that calibration can only take place when the carpark space is empty. Automatic calibration Before a calibration ( or at least the first time the sensors are calibrated), enter the distance between sensors and floor.
Page 55
CP3 version 3003 o Response from sensors: The selected sensors will start flashing yellow for 5 sec. After 5 sec., they will start flashing green for 3 sec. After the 3 sec., the sensors will turn steady green Note: If there are many sensors to calibrate, it is possible to select sensor type and distance for multiple sensors in the below menu named “Multiediting”.
CP3 version 3003 Manual Calibration The manual calibration is performed in situations where the installer needs to calibrate only one or a few sensors. This is often the case in situations where a single sensor has become defective for an unknown reason.
CP3 version 3003 Carpark Software When the configuration is complete, we move to the carpark software part where we can import drawings, make alarms, analyse trend curves, book and unbook carpark spaces etc. In this manual we will only show a small part of all these functions while referring to the carpark software manual, which can be downloaded here: http://productselection.net...

CP3 version 3003 ‘Drawings’ adds drawings and designs the carpark structures. Optional. In the drawings menu, the installer can build up the entire structure of the carpark installation. Drawings can be imported and icons can show the status of each space, such as available, occupied, disabled, VIP etc.
CP3 version 3003 System Calculation Before any installation, it is important to make sure that the system with cables, sensors, LED indicators etc. are correctly mounted according to load and voltage drop. We will discuss some basic rules to adhere to this so that the outcome will be the best-designed installation in all circumstances.
CP3 version 3003 Calculation If you are searching for different installation methods, please follow the calculation examples below.

Carpark system as an entry or an exit. The sensor uses the 3-wire Dupline® bus and must be installed in the same way as other Dupline® Carpark 3 sensors. Use the same installation rules as for the...
Each address for the sensors are unique, and the algorithm in the Carpark 3 system can see if the sensor is placed in either an MZC system or a single-space system.
CP3 version 3003 Typically, one MZC comprises a level of the parking facility, but it can also be a part of a level or even the entire carpark. An MZC has a certain amount of parking spaces available, and the function of the MZC system is to detect and count the cars entering and leaving the MZC and thus keep track of the number of available spaces.
CP3 version 3003 Initialisation and adjustment In the initial configuration, the installer has to define the number of spaces in each MZC. From that point, the MZC will increment or decrement the count values as the cars enter or leave the MZCs beneath the detection points.
Page 66
CP3 version 3003 means that the power supply must be at least double size (5.2 Amp). The power consumption depends on the number of sensors connected to the 3-wire Dupline® bus. Note: The modules are short-circuit protected and will not be ruined by a short circuit. If a short circuit occurs, the yellow LED on the CMCG module will be blinking.
Page 67
CP3 version 3003 In this example, we have two MZCs: ground level and 1st floor level. They will be named MZC 1 and MZC 2 in the following. MZC 1 has two entrances (DPOs) from ground level and one entrance (DPO) from MZC 2 (the transition from level 1 to ground level is also an entrance).
CP3 version 3003 Connection diagram for the above 2-floor 4-DPO example MZC counting system with a split between standard and reserved spaces MZC counting systems in parking facilities have a recurring issue in not being able to detect the split between standard and reserved spaces, typically used for handicap or VIP spaces.
Assignment and calibration in the configuration tool are equal for all sensor types used in Carpark 3. The significant difference between single-space and MZC lies in the configuration part. The design in the SBP2CPY24 is more or less equal to the single-space system.
CP3 version 3003 Installation of the Counting System Below we will describe installation of the counting system and especially the count sensor in details. Correct installation of the sensor will improve the accuracy of the entire counting system. Examples of further actions to improve accuracy, such as mechanical solutions, will follow.
CP3 version 3003 Sensor Installation (DPO) The vertical sensor must be installed pointing directly to a hard and straight surface. It must be mounted on the ceiling over the driving lane no more than 2.5 m above the floor and pointing directly towards the floor. The angle of the sensor must have a vertical deviation of maximum +/-2-degrees.
Page 72
CP3 version 3003 The entrance DPO consists of two sensors, sensor 1 and sensor 2. The DPO in the MZC is programmed so that sensor 1 is first and sensor 2 is second. In this way, the system is able to determine the direction of the car.
Page 73
CP3 version 3003 In the below drawing we have an example where two sensors marked “A” are programmed as entrance sensors and the opposite sensors marked “B” are programmed as exit sensors. It is possible to increase the number of sensors for group A and B to ten sensors in total. Five sensors for each group.
The equation above implies that the sensors must be installed no closer than 1.72 m to each other to avoid crosstalk and false activations. Carlo Gavazzi recommends increasing the result of the equation to 2.0 m to make sure you avoid crosstalk and false activations.
CP3 version 3003 The sensors can also detect movement if doors, gates and other moving parts are in their range. The below drawing show a circle which indicate a perimeter not to install any movement parts closer than 2*m that can disturb the count sensors.
CP3 version 3003 Cars driving bumper-to-bumper This problem can be minimised by using optical sensors which are fast and precise enough to detect the small gap between the cars. However, even if this option is used, detection can still be inaccurate, so therefore an access barrier or a speed bump between sensor 1 and sensor 2 might be the best solution to achieve optimum accuracy.
CP3 version 3003 Programming the Sensor The count sensor is programmed by means of the SBP2WEB24 configuration tool. This tool can be downloaded here: http://www.productselection.net/MANUALS/UK/cp3_manual.pdf The count sensor has some features that can be useful during the installation. Depending on the speed of the cars, the sensor can be programmed to count slower or faster by using the filters in the configuration tool.
CP3 version 3003 Example: A multi-storey car park of five floors with 200 spaces on each floor. If the system is 100% occupied, 1000 cars will be passing by the main entrance on floor 1. On floor 2 the number is 800 cars at the entrance and so on, and on floor 5 it is 200 cars. More cars through a DPO (entrance or exit point) will increase the risk of miscount.
CP3 version 3003 Anarchist drivers Driving across the DPO and diagonally activate the sensors, is another problem we have experienced in the Carpark systems. Such behaviour is no problem in systems with only one DPO. If, however, there is more than one DPO, the counting system will not accept this as a valid signal and the car will not be detected.
CP3 version 3003 Troubleshooting 1. Wrong cabling of the sensors Correct Connection Wrong connection A Wrong connection B Wrong connection C Wrong connection D Wrong connection E A) Badly connected sensors stay white and they do not work. Badly connected sensors burn and are no longer workable. C) Badly connected sensors are dim red, and they do not work.
